ABI Error Message

B15:	INSUFFICIENT DATA IN FIRM OR CITY

INPUT FIRM NAME OR CITY NAME FIELD DOES NOT CONTAIN ENOUGH CHARACTERS TO CREATE A MANUFACTURER ID. IN ABI, THIS MESSAGE CAN OCCUR IF THE FILER TRANSMITS LOWER CASE LETTERS IN THE FIRM NAME OR CITY NAME FIELD, BUT THE FIRST LETTER OF THE FIRM NAME AND CITY NAME IS A CAPITAL LETTER.

691:	INVALID PAY BASIS INDICATOR

THE STATEMENT ADD/DELETE APPLICATION (CODE HP) IS USED TO REMOVE ENTRIES FROM A STATEMENT (INDICATOR = 1) OR TO SCHEDULE AN ENTRY FOR A NEW PAYMENT DUE DATE. IF THE LATTER IS DESIRED, THREE POSSIBLE PAYMENT TYPE INDICATORS ARE ALLOWED. INDICATOR "2"  IS FOR A BROKER STATEMENT. INDICATOR "3" IS FOR AN IMPORTER STATEMENT, GROUPED BY A SINGLE IMPORTER NUMBER. INDICATOR "5" IS ALSO AN IMPORTER STATEMENT, BUT ALLOWS THE SAME BASIC IMPORTER NUMBER TO BE GROUPED, REGARDLESS OF THE SUFFIX. IF ONE OF THE ABOVE FOUR INDICATORS IS NOT TRANSMITTED (OR IF THE FIELD IS LEFT BLANK) IN THE H REC, POS 18, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

VIE:	DT HS7: BLANK VIN POSITION: 3

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED WHEN AN ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION IS USED TO REPORT DOT DATA VIA ABI. IF THE FILER USES THE DT03 TO REPORT VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (VIN), THE FIRST THREE VINS BEING REPORTED MUST BE IN POSITIONS 5-21, 22-38, AND 39-55 OF THE DT03 RECORD. IF THE THIRD VIN FIELD IS BLANK AND THE FILER USES POSITIONS 56-72 TO REPORT THE THIRD VIN, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

ONLY IF THE FILER CODE IN THE QT RECORD IS NOT AN EXACT MATCH TO THAT ON THE DATA FILE FOR THE STATEMENT NUMBER IN THE TRANSACTION WILL THIS ERROR MESSAGE BE GENERATED.

EJX:	UNITS MUST BE IN ORDER

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSMISSION (APPLICATION CI). SHIPPING UNIT IDENTIFICATIONS CAN BE MADE AT TWO LEVELS, IN THE C06/C07 RECORD AND/OR THE C47/C49 RECORDS. IN EITHER CASE, THE OUTER SHIPPING UNIT (USUALLY A CONTAINER) IS IDENTIFIED IN THE C06 RECORD. IF INTERIOR PACKAGING ENTITIES ARE SEPARATELY IDENTIFIED WITHIN A CONTAINER, THOSE IDENTIFIERS ARE REPORTED IN THE C07/C49 REC. EACH OF THESE RECORDS PROVIDES SPACE TO REPORT ONE OR TWO INTERIOR PACKAGING UNIT IDENTIFIERS (OR A RANGE OF IDENTIFIERS). THE INTERIOR PACKAGING IDENTIFERS MUST BE UNIQUE AND MUST BE REPORTED IN ORDER. THAT IS, THE C07 REC, POS 4-20, IS USED TO REPORT THE FIRST PACKAGING IDENTIFIER. THE NUMBER IN THIS FIELD MUST BE DIFFERENT FROM THE UNIT IDENTIFIER IN POS 21-37. FURTHER, DATA CANNOT BE TRANSMITTED IN POS 21-37 UNLESS POS 4-20 IS USED FIRST. WHEN REPORTING RANGES, THE NUMBER OF DIGITS IN THE HIGHEST RANGE MUST BE FOLLOWED FOR ALL RANGES (USE 0001 TO 0800 IF THE HIGHEST NUMBER IN THE RANGE IS 4000, NOT 1 TO 800, 801 TO 1600, FOR EXAMPLE).

4BL:	ENTRY WAS NOT ORIGINALLY ABI

ALTHOUGH THE DISKETTE PROGRAM IS NOT ABI AND THE CLAIMS ARE NOT ABI, WE USE SIMILIAR PROGRAMMING AS THE SOURCE OF CLAIM CREATION. IF THE CLAIM HAS BEEN COMPLETELY INPUT MANUALLY AND RECORDS EXIST AT THE TIME THE ABI OR DISKETTE JOBS ARE RUN, THE DISKETTE AND ABI WILL NOT PERMIT THE OVERLAY OF DATA.

ACQ:	ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE IS INACTIVE

THE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER FOR THE ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE (HI APPLICATION, REC H POS 11-22 OR EI APPLICATION, REC 10, POS 20-31) IS CURRENTLY IN 'INACTIVE' STATUS ON THE IMPORTER FILE. ABI FILERS SHOULD USE APPLICATION 'TI' 5106 UPDATE, TO SUBMIT THE REACTIVATION. IF THE NUMBER IS A U.S. CUSTOMS ASSIGNED NUMBER, THE ENTRY TEAM CAN REACTIVATE THIS NUMBER.

HP1:	REJECTED STATUS-SINGLE PAY ONLY

IF AN ENTRY, OTHERWISE SCHEDULED FOR PAYMENT BY STATEMENT/ACH PROCESSING, IS REJECTED BY CUSTOMS PRIOR TO PAYMENT, THE FILER CANNOT CHANGE THE PAYMENT DUE DATE VIA THE "STATEMENT ADD/DELETE" APPLICATION (HP). IF THE FILER ATTEMPTS TO USE HP, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT.

8P1:	INELIGIBLE - CONSOLIDATED RLSE

THIS DRAWBACK MODULE ERROR MESSAGE WILL OCCUR IF AN IMPORT ENTRY IS DESIGNATED THAT WAS NOT AN ENTRY SUMMARY, BUT A CONSOLIDATED RELEASE. IN THESE CASES, THE ENTRY THAT SHOULD BE CITED, IF ANY, WOULD BE THE CONSOLIDATED SUMMARY AGAINST WHICH DUTIES/TAXES WERE PAID.

SPI "M" IS USED TO REPORT IMPORTATIONS OF FASHION SAMPLES OR CERTAIN CARPETS FROM CHINA. (SEE ADMIN MSG 97-0482, 97-0952, AND 97-0990). ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS PROGRAM IS THAT IF "M" IS USED, THE VISA NUMBER FOR THE ITEM IN QUESTION MAY NOT BE TRANSMITTED TO ABI. IF THE VISA NUMBER IS SENT, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

109:	INVALID SPECIAL PROGRAMS INDICATOR

ABI ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSMISSIONS MAY INCLUDE A SPECIAL PROGRAM INDICATOR CODE ("SPI"). THE VALID CODES ARE LISTED ON PAGES ENS-48 THROUGH ENS-50 OF THE CATAIR (CUSTOMS AND TRADE AUTOMATED INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT).

SG7:	52 REC-INVALID SUGAR CERT FORMAT

FOR THE ABI 'EI', THE CANADIAN SUGAR CERTIFICATE MUST BE A FULL 7 ALPHA-NUMERIC CHARACTERS WITH NO EMBEDDED SPACES OR SPECIAL CHARACTERS.

VBY:	HS7:CODE/MFR MUST BE ALPHANUMERIC

IF ANY OTHER CHARACTER IS TRANSMITTED IN EITHER FIELD, THIS MESSAGE WILL RESULT. SLASHES, DASHES, PERIODS, ETC. WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN THESE ELEMENTS.

384:	EXPORT DATE INVALID/CONFLICTING

THE EXPORT DATE TRANSMITTED BY THE ABI FILER IS NOT CHRONOLOGICALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE IMPORT DATE OR WITH ANOTHER DATE IN THE SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION. THUS, IF THE IMPORT DATE IS REPORTED TO ABI AS JULY 12, 1997, THE EXPORT DATE MUST BE A DATE EQUAL TO JULY 12 OR EARLIER. THIS ERROR WILL ALSO RESULT IF THE EXPORT DATE FIELD IS BLANK (50 REC, POS 71-76). IF A FILER HAS SENT AN ENTRY DATE UPDATE (DN APPLICATION) AND THAT DATE IS REFLECTED IN THE 'FLR ENT DATE' FIELD OF THE MASTER ENTRY SUMMARY HEADER SCREEN FOR THE ENTRY, ANY EXPORT DATE WHICH IS LATER THAN THE UPDATED ENTRY DATE ESTABLISHED BY THE DN INPUT WILL ALSO CAUSE THIS MESSAGE TO BE ISSUED.

39B:	INVALID DUTY FREE CLAIM

THIS MESSAGE WILL OCCUR IF THE FILER ATTEMPTS TO MAKE A DUTY-FREE CLAIM THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN/COUNTRY OF EXPORT COMBINATION. FOR EXAMPLE, INSULAR POSSESSIONS (SPI "Y") ARE ENTITLED TO SHIP CARGO DUTY FREE TO THE UNITED STATES, BUT ONLY IF THE SHIPMENT COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE POSSESSION. THEREFORE, IF THE COUNTRY OF EXPORT (50 REC, POS 69-70) IS NOT IDENTICAL TO THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN (40 REC, POS 6-7), AND THE FILER TRANSMITS "Y" IN POS 3 OF THE 50 RECORD, THIS ERROR WILL RESULT. THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED IF SPI "Y" IS USED FOR AMERICAN GOODS RETURNED PRODUCTS (CHAPT 98010010NN), AS THESE ARTICLES ARE UNCONDITIONALLY FREE OF DUTY AND THEREFORE DO NOT REQUIRE A SPECIAL PROGRAM IN ORDER TO CLAIM DUTY-FREE STATUS.

800:	NO MATCH FOR EST/COMP DUTIES

THIS MESSAGE CAN HAVE MULTIPLE CAUSES. THE MOST COMMON ONES ARE: -- USING PRIOR YEAR'S TARIFF RATES; OR RATES IN EFFECT BEFORE A HARMONIZED UPDATE CHANGED THE RATES. -- TRANSMITTING ZERO DUTY WITHOUT INCLUDING THE APPROPRIATE SPECIAL PROGRAMS INDICATOR (SPI) OR SENDING DUTY WITH AN ACCOMPANYING DUTY-FREE SPI. -- APPLYING AN AD VALOREM DUTY RATE AS THOUGH IT WAS A SPECIFIC RATE. -- INCORRECTLY CALCULATING AN AD VALOREM EQUIVALENT FOR CHAPTER 9802 IMPORTATIONS. -- MAKING A CALCULATION ERROR THAT AMOUNTS TO MORE THAN A $3 DIFFERENCE ON A GIVEN TARIFF LINE ON THE SUMMARY. -- USING AN INTRANSIT (I.T.) NUMBER AND DATE FROM A PRIOR YEAR WITH DUTY RATES FROM THE CURRENT YEAR.

VAX:	PAY BASIS INVALID-CUSTOMS STATUS

ENTRY SUMMARIES THAT ARE FILED WITH CUSTOMS AND PAID BY CHECK ARE CONSIDERED TO BE "SINGLE PAY" ENTRIES. THESE SUMMARIES, IF REJECTED BY CUSTOMS FOR ABI RETRANSMISSION BY THE FILER, CANNOT BE SCHEDULED FOR STATEMENT PROCESSING AT A FUTURE DATE. IF THE FILER TRANSMITS A PAYMENT TYPE AND PAYMENT DUE DATE ON SUCH AN ENTRY, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.
